Release checklist for maintainersļƒ

Note

For demonstrationā€™s sake, we assume that the next version is $VERSION and the package name is $PACKAGE.

  • Ensure tests pass locally and on CI:

    pytest
    
  • Update version in $PACKAGE/_version.py

  • Compile changelog from news fragments and verify the output, for example:

    towncrier build --version $VERSION --draft
    
  • Apply the changelog to CHANGES.rst and edit the links as required:

    towncrier build --version $VERSION
    
  • Compile documentation:

    cd docs/
    make html
    
  • Commit changes and tag a release:

    hg commit
    hg tag $VERSION
    
  • Prepare source distribution package and wheel:

    make clean
    python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
    
  • Verify the package with twine:

    twine check dist/*
    
  • Upload to TestPyPI and verify:

    twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*
    cd /tmp
    python -m venv testpypi
    source testpypi/bin/activate
    pip install \
        --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple \
        --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple \
        $PACKAGE
    
  • Upload to PyPI:

    twine upload dist/*
